This is one of the worst games I have ever played, that isn't saying much though since I'm good at avoiding bad games. Hotel Mario wasn't even made by Nintendo, it was made by Phillips, you know, the generic tech company. Even worse this was made instead of a another Mario game with a promising appearance, Mario's Wacky Worlds, that game was canceled and instead we got Hotel Mario, that's just great. The Graphics are very beyond for it's time, this was when the Nintendo 64 and Sony PlayStation came out and it looks like something from the Super Nintendo, why? The Soundtrack is average at best, and mostly is just generic. That said the voice-acting is just terrible, it sounds like they're not even trying, in fact, I think the "voice-actors" are literal robots. The Story is dumb as well, the princess is kidnapped again so they have to look for her in 7 hotels, that's it, that's the story. The cutscenes are corny as crap, along with the crap voice-acting I mentioned a few seconds ago, this makes the game hard to sit through, we haven't even gotten to the gameplay yet, gosh. The gameplay is simple, you just close doors on different platforms while killing enemies and raise and repeat, that's about it. The gameplay is repeative, more repeative than Call of Duty, and that's saying something. I can't play this game often, you know why? The answer is I feel like stabbing forks on my eyes while running off a building every time I play this awful game. Hotel Mario isn't even that hard, it just takes time to complete a level because the doors open again after a while, like really? Hotel Mario offers little to nothing, there's unbearable cutscenes, repeative gameplay, and just plain boring things to do. Hotel Mario doesn't even feel like a Mario game, it isn't anything like Mario. Mario you go through greatly designed level stomping on goombas, punching bricks, getting power-ups, and defeating Bowser. Hotel Mario is nothing like that, it's just like a TV Show of a popular video game or action figure that only existed because that thing is popular, in fact, that's exactly what it is, a corporate cash-in. Hotel Mario is mess, a huge mess. It's a rushed replacement of another game, Voice-acting is horrible and soundtrack is a meh, story is dumb and cutscenes are corny to the bone, I find no reason to ever playing this game again.

I agree, it's not even on the 'so bad it's good' line that you see in video game movies.

Ah, the birthplace of YTP...

This game is kinda trash. But it will never be Sticker Star. So it has that going for it, at least. But this game was truly a sad display. It is probably for the better that it's a mostly forgotten relic of a partnership that created the Playstation.

Luigi442wii : Yeah, I am pretty sure a few people might have given it 10/10 for being a cinematic masterpiece.

I watched about a minute of gameplay footage of Hotel Mario on YouTube before, and I got bored easily. I haven't played it but maybe it would be slightly more interesting than just watching videos of it.

Good review! It was a little hard to read because it's all in one giant paragraph, but you went through every section and briefly described them. A great thing to do for your next review would be to put your ratings of each section in your post so we see your rating and why you gave it that rating.

Keep reviewing!
